Another heads up... The stock screws that screw the bike grip to the rail are too long. Now, I'm either going to have to hunt down washers, or find shorter screws. There's a decent size gap between the rail and grip now.

Should pull out with a pair of needle nose pliers. If not, use a vice and a couple of pieces of wood to press it out.

Spot on. I just use needle nose pliers too. Only one time did I use something to press it out, and it didn't require a vice. I just pressed it against the floor until the bushing slid out. Can't remember what I used, but maybe it was a piece of dowel rod or something.

Needle nose pliers work, but can damage the bushing.
A flat tip punch, hammer and vise will do less damage.
You really need a flat surface to lay the rail on when using the punch and hammer method because you can bend the rail other wise.
I have found some of the older style bushings and ones that have been in the rail for years very stubborn and wont budge with pliers.
